NEW LAWS. The law passed by the
legislature at its recent session requir-
ing separate assessor for villages is
causing considerable trouble in the
villages of Grant county. None of the
five villages in the county complied
with the law at their elections May 8.
The law was approved April s, and pub
lished in the official state paper April
2S. As the law was in effect after its
publication, the villages should have
elected assessors this year. The propo-
sition OF some to appoint the town asses
sors village assessors also seems hardly
to comply with the requirement Shall
be elected" How the matter can be
legally adjusted at this stage is the
problem. A special election would
not do as the language of the
law is ''shall be elected at the annual
village election" Cities not under a
special charter come under the same
law AS the state paper is not taken
everywhere it is hard to see how this
state of things could have been avoided
ifthe law was to gointo effect at once, One
paper in every county ought to receive
sufficient compensation TO enable it to
publish all the laws as fast as approved
instead of paying papers of 800 eircula-
ton the same as those of 5000 for send

GENERAL RESULTS.
FORTY NINTH coNGREls.

!
ness great deal of work urgently
required, and which has lain unactcd
on for years i'll previous Congresses
The present Congress removed a
grave danger to the country by sot
thing tho Presidential succession and
tho method of counting the electoral
vote. 1t took very important steps
i'll land reform, and would have done
much moro but for tho resistance OF
tho Republican Senate. 1t settled
tho polygamy troubles; vindicated the
power af Congress to deal with cor
porations and did other things, as
tho following list of most important
public acts will show, all of which
long needed to DO done, but which
,the Republicans. when they had
power, refused to do. 1t passed
laws:-
/. Settling the succession to the
Presidency.
2. Regulating the counting OF tho
electoral vote. (,
3. Repeating tho Tenure of OniS8
act.
4. Forfciting and restoring TO tho
public domain about $4,000 acres of
land.
5. Pros ibiting tho ownership of
land by aliens.
s. Effectively dealing with the
crime of polygamy.
7iHeferring all private claims to
the &urt of Claims.
s. Citing money ier inst er gS1fsors,
for navalshaybor defcnces and steel
guns for NIL new ships.
8, Ordering n thorough inquiry
into the affairs and management of
tho Pacific railroads.
10. Authorizing the President to
deal with the fishery troubles.
IL. Regulating interstate com
merce.
II. Reducing the feos OH postal
money orders.
10. Extending the FREQ delivery
system to cities of 10000 inhabitants.
II. Relieving the merchant marine
of n number of vexatious and need.
less burdens.
10. Redceming trade dollars.
16. Prohibiting tho use of convict
labor on public buildings.
II. Ordering tho adjustment OF
railroad land grants.
Is. Allotting lands in severalty to
Indians.
10. Authorizing the issue of small
silver certificates.
20. Giving money for n Congress
sional library.
Finally, unlike the notorious Keifer
Congress elected with General Gar
field, it was guiltless of jobs.
OMISSIONS.
That it did not do a good many
important things which were expect
ed Of it is perfectly true; that it
failed to abolish the surplus taxes
and to provide for harbor defenses for
the sea, lake and gulf ports, and for
guns for such defenses, is serious
fault. But the movement of legis.
lation in Congress is always slow.
Many Congresses, republican in both
branches, have done nothing at all
and none since war have done so
much rs this Of necessary and i'm

EXTRA SESSION.

Nothing but the fiscal interest of
the State should engage the atten-
ton Of the Legislature, which assem-
bled iii extra session yesterday
Every man who esteems the welfare
OF the State above that Of partisan
politics will give his earnest efforts
to maintain the rising fortunes of
Virginia.
Such strides in development never
were witnessed in tho land. The dis.
covery OF new mines, and the touch
ing of now strings to earnest action
are bringing into the State largo
sums of money and nh influx of popu
lation calculated to place our State
in the front rank of manufacturers.
OF course any measure that will
add to the tide of immigration of
men of skill, and increase the volume
OF capital will be auxiliary to the set
tloment of our financial trouble, or
what may amount to financial
trouble.
Five years of undisturbed develop.
ment will place us beyond the reach
OF harm from any bondholder's com.
bination. The natural increase in
values will make a banking capital
equal to any taxable stress laid upon
us. Let the Legislature do us no
harm If possible, do us some good.
Things have changed greatly since
the Franco German war of 1870
france to-day has nearly 100000
more men of all arms than Germany

tier, SO easily crossed by the Germans
seventeen years ago, is now lined
with fortresses of great strength.

been wholly rebuilt on much larger
scale, SO that it is believed that al
least three times as lnrge force
would be needed to bosiego it as
that which captured the city in the
